Chichen ItzaA trip to Oasis would have been nothing without a trip to one of the world’s seven wonders: Chichen Itza, a venuethat holds a truly marvellous story and was a valuable witness from the rise and fall of a mighty civilization. The Mayasbecame famous forpredicting the"end of the world" in 2012,or so itwas said, whenin reality allthat markedtheir calendarswas the end ofan era and thebeginning of another. Instead ofcenturies, the Mayas had cycles of 52years in whichthelunar calendarand thereligious calendarsynchronized.Each ofthese cycles is represented by a levelof the pyramid, better known as the Kukulkan temple. I find itreallyfascinating, especially because of thespeed in whichour society thrives these days, where everything is made and shared in an instant. Patience, labor, the structure and designthattookover 400years to materializeis beautiful... For that,thispyramidisone of the 7wondersof humanity. The planthat day wasto go andabsorb theculture and history thatthe placeexudes.The climateis quitetropical in Yucatanso I went fora dress. sunbonnetandmy mostcomfortable sneakers.

I seriously encourage you to go if you can!
